Your First Visit

A comprehensive exam, done properly.

A full new-patient exam

Your first appointment with Dr. McCartney is a full new-patient exam: full-series X-rays, complete periodontal charting, an oral cancer screening, intraoral photos, and a check for cavities. It takes longer than a routine cleaning because it's supposed to.

Before You Arrive

What to bring

  • • Insurance card
  • • Photo ID
  • • A list of any medications you take
  • • Relevant medical history

If you have recent X-rays from another dentist, bring those too. If you're switching from a long-time practice, we're happy to reach out to them for records so nothing gets duplicated.

No judgment here

Whether it's been a year or many years since your last visit, we're not here to make you feel bad about it. Tell us where things stand and we'll build a plan from there.

"Because he was so gentle and knowledgeable and his staff so courteous and professional, I decided to get my cleanings from the practice. So far, very happy with the results. They are on time, explain everything fully and very proficient."
